Maybe admin would put one in brand specific forums......alot of poulan and poulan owners out here....you would be surprised
Yea and maybe add the weedeater brand with it
Just asking but why don't you use the Craftsman forum to post about Poulan it's the same thing, made and owned by the same company.
A better question is why are there separate MTD and Bolens forums, since Bolens is now part of MTD ? And we could add Yardman and Yard Machines in there as well. I saw a Bolens branded push mower at Lowe's that was identical except for color to a Yard Machines mower at Walmart. Even the prices were the same. What we are missing is a Dolmar / Makita forum and a Tanaka / Hitachi forum.
I take it Dolmar / Makita are chainsaws and mowers and the Tanaka and Hitachi are hand held equipment. When you come down to it I guess you need to look at Manufacturers there are and who and what they own and I don't know if you could list them all.

Oh, for sure you can't list everything, but my impression is that LMF is somewhat dated in its listing of manufacturers and is missing some that are currently widely sold. For example, Black & Decker is the only electric mower manufacturer that is listed, however brands like WORX, Greenworks and Earthwise/Homelite have made strong inroads in this market. Also, Greenworks is innovating with lithium ion batteries, whereas B & D is sticking with heavy SLA batteries in their products.
If it were me and space was an issue I'd consider using the B&D forum and combining all you mentioned and re-naming the forum, or if space isn't an issue make a separate forum for each.
